β¦ Synopsis
A race against time: Like an arch with an uncertain keystone, the world trembles around the holiest spot on Earth--the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. It's a crisis of the near future, and the slightest vibration can bring down devastating world war. A dangerous adventure in conspiracy and suspense: The tremors start with the Pope's apparent suicide and the disappearance of the most sacred of artifacts. Thrown unwillingly together, Ari, an Israeli intelligence agent, and Maryse, an Interpol art expert plagued by a violent past, trace the dim outlines of a conspiracy that threatens to bring about the end of everything. A secret society threatens to ignite war as an age-old mystery unravels: In the days to come, they chase across Europe an unknown enemy who can manipulate genetics, transform lead into gold, and ignite a nuclear explosion with a whisper. And what is the aim of the four enigmatic men who make up the oldest, most secret society in the world--to save it or destroy it? Follow Ari and Maryse as they race toward the golden Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem, where they must find the answers by a certain day--The Day of Atonement.
